Let's just say you made it out your mother
And weren't strangled in your crib by brother
Or fell prey to the thousands of things that easily could be called SIDS...
And let's say you grew up in a nation
That thought you deserved an education
Rather than be a slave to your boss, your father, your husband or pimp...
Let's suppose while you're enjoying school
Your classmates observe the golden rule
And don't make your life a hell on Earth just cause you're quote unquote uncool...
Further, let's suppose that you were blessed
Enough to come from the culture tested
Such that you could be deemed by your dean to be worthy of a degree...

And so, as we can see from these few examples and the like,
It's true what that Longfellow said about rain in your life.
We've all gotta have some and that's gotta be plenty alright.
It is no more sensible to wish for sunnier nights...

So get over yourself and buy an umbrella.

Moving on, let's say you weren't so shafted
As to live somewhere where you'd be drafted;
Forced to give up some years of your youth to holding a gun for the state...
This would mean that you would be the freest
To ply the free market with your BS
In the hopes of securing a trade of 30 years for a gold watch...
With this job, perhaps you'd be so lucky
As to find a girl who would say fuck me
Make some kids of your own to grow up and hate you for giving them life...
If by chance you don't end up disabled
And your pension's big enough to pay bills,
You might end life humanely in one of the handful of places that's legal...

And so, as we can see by looking at things that we don't like,
It's true what that Aeschylus said of the happy man's life.
We'd be courting hubris if we named it such while he's alive.
Only once the flame has expired can we call it good night...

So be smart and blow yourself out while on fire.
